It was really only a period between the early '70s and early '90s when the CIA was portrayed in a negative light in films. Remember Clint Eastwood's In the Line of Fire where the assassin is a former Agency operative and psycho still protected in their computers? I can't see that being made today.
The Pentagon has always courted Hollywood (especially since the 80s with Top Gun and crap like that). Again, the anti-military period in film was limited from about 1964 to somewhere in the late 80s, and a lot of those films were made outside the US. Check out 1965's The Bedford Incident if you get a chance.
